Perhaps we might trust the US Code more than the Tax Foundation.Thanks. I remember some of the earlier discussions and some online articles stating it would be below the line, like the new senior deduction. Thanks for the update and thanks Lis7 for the link to the tax foundation article.There was some confusion when the law was first passed. I believe the consensus is that the new tax deduction will be handled similarly to how the CARES act era charitable deduction was and it will be a deduction from Total Income, thereby reducing AGI.
See 26 U.S. Code § 63 - Taxable income defined | U.S. Code :
Section 170(p) is the $1000/$2000 charitable contribution deduction.“taxable income” means adjusted gross income, minus—
...
(4) the deduction provided in section 170(p)....
In other words, it's below the line.
